Nicolò Barella at Cagliari is another one to think about, he’s going to have some career I think and is only 21
Dammit, knew I forgot someone, especially since he was linked with us a few weeks back... Nicolo Barella Club: Cagliari Contract until: 2022 Date of last contract extension: January 2018 (****!)
Europe Mercato have reported that we're looking at Marseilles midfielder Morgan Sanson...sort of like how we were linked with him in January and the summer More than anything else, though, the fact he plays for Marseilles should be enough of a reason to look elsewhere given our recent dealings with them involved them stringing us along for months over Batshuayi while waiting for a bigger bid to help cover their FFP issues, and dragging out GKN for so long he became a meme before he ever signed for us - and considering the fact Sanson signed for OM in January last year, coupled with him being one of their key players, I expect more urine extraction if we made a bid
Rumours of Gooners interested in Isco..... If there is even the slightest glimmer of truth in that, then surely - SURELY - we should be in the market, too?
The important question about Isco: is his mother also his agent? If so, there is only one person needed for negotiations... please log in to view this image
Isco and Grealish. Carling don't do user names for such embarrassing transfer chatter, but if they did ...
This David Brooks guy at Bournmouth seems to be some player. These are exactly the kind of players I'd hope we'd be taking the chance on ahead of Bournmouth. Similar to how we did with Bale and Alli, Walker etc. As soon as Aston Villa started showing signs of playing 'Billy Bill Balls' with Grealish, we should have been in for Brooks. They don't always become world class, as Naughton who was bought at the same time as Walker demonstrates, but with Pochettino at the helm I'm sure we'd unearth more gems than we'd sell on those who end up being below the required level.
Same Old Same Old Watch It's time for the annual Josh King to Tottenham story, with a £25m pricetag mooted While I find the story to be likely bollocks, given we seem to be linked with him every transfer window, it would solve a few of our squad problems given he's HG, has proven to be capable in the Premier League, and does not have Unperson status Ndombele Watch His agent has stated that €80m (aka £72m) will be enough to sign his client. While that would be almost double our previous record fee, the £42m we paid for Sanchez, as statements of intent go that's one worth making. So, lucky we saved up the cash in the summer, eh? Rabiot Watch Barcelona-based paper Mondo Deportivo have reported that the package we were offering Rabiot was £133k a week, prior to Barca definitely not acting like spoiled children still sulking about PSG being so devious that they...paid Neymar's release clause Lower League Rando Watch The Mirror are reporting that Sunderland are offering striker Josh Maja around for just £1.5m due to his contract running out in the summer. He's scored twelve goals for them this season and is just 19, so could be a decent pickup
Dembele Watch Le 10 Sport are reporting that Monaco are interested in a January swoop. Hmm, I wonder if there's any midfielders on their books that would be good signings for us that Henry has been singling out for criticism for his entire tenure there? Lower League Rando Watch Rupert Murdoch's Hate Comic is reporting that we're considering a £15m buy-and-loan-back deal for Norwich right back Max Aarons, who has broken into the side this season and certainly looks one hell of a prospect - but I just can't see that bid being taken seriously considering he's a.) Young, turning 19 next week b.) English c.) Not even three months into a five year contract he signed in October d.) Playing for a team currently second in The Championship Remember Me? So who remembers Alassane Plea, the Nice striker we were linked to in the summer that caused certain hate mongers masquerading as Spurs bloggers to have a meltdown? Well even though he ended up signing for A German Team in the summer and has been in fine form all season with twelve goals so far, here's what he said about A German Team in an interview with Canal+ I wanted to pass an intermediate step and that’s why I came here. It’s up to me to be good, and try to find a super club and play the Champions League. Something tells me he'll be available in the summer...
